How long would it take to sell your current home? If you’re anything like the average Scot, it could take a little longer than you might think.

According to the latest House Price Index from property website Rightmove, homeowners in Scotland could be waiting more than a month and a half to successfully sell their property, with the average deal taking 55 days to settle.

But aiming to take some of the stress out of moving home, Barratt Homes are now offering their popular part exchange scheme across their developments in Scotland.

Part exchange – or PX as it is sometimes known – allows buyers to sell their existing home without the sometimes long and arduous task of finding a buyer, with the developer purchasing their previous property as part of the deal for their new one.

“Our aim is to make the moving process as easy as possible for house hunters,” explained Estelle Sykes, sales and marketing director for Barratt Homes West Scotland.

“Our Part Exchange scheme is a very popular incentive for people who need to sell their own home in order to move – we will buy your current home making the transaction as quick and easy as possible.

“There’s a misconception amongst potential buyers that it is more cost effective to sell your home on the open market. However, we offer a price within seven days that is in line with the market value after two independent valuations are carried out.”
